You can already do that with 5.1 by adding three lines of code.

I'll take care of that asap.

That might be the case because a) the underlying library does not allow this
or because the extension isn't updated. In general all file functions should
accept any stream. Maybe you need to look into the extension source yourself
or contact the author/maintainer.
